Your ‘To Do’ List For Today

So you’ve made a ‘To Do’ list for today. Well done! That is a major step to staying focused and getting done what is important to you.

Now, let’s look at how to improve it. Look it over and ask yourself these questions:

What is on my to do list that will…

Increase my lung capacity (the single best determinant of longevity).

Lift my spirits (the best defense against ill health is a healthy attitude).

Super nourish my body (the second best defense against ill health is a well nourished body).

Build lean muscle mass (increases strength now and prevents osteoporosis in later years).

Satisfy my urge to create (most important).

Help another.

Improve my skills.

Put order into my environment.

And if the urge come up to put off these as ‘not urgent to do today’, remind yourself that the urgent things are rarely important and the important things are rarely urgent.

Have a great day!

Warriors Are Not

Warriors Are Not

(I posted this 18th May 2019. Wow! What a change the world has seen since then! Warriors are never a more needed commodity than they are now. And will be for a few years more.

Since I wrote this Ode there have been a great many more step up to don the mantle of Warrior. The world has far more hope for their examples so it is fitting I repost it.)

Here’s an acknowledgement to the warriors I know, interestingly enough. most of them women Mary Szental, Sheryl Pyers, Dyan Thomson, Irene Kondostanos, Karen Hadley, Elaine Wilhelm, Stephanie Messenger, Jeffrey Smith, Robert F Kennedy Jnr, Del Bigtree and Rohn Walker as well as the team at Moms Across America are the ones who come instantly to mind but there are many more who don’t…

Ode to the Warriors of the Light

May your strength attain new highs,
May your courage only grow,
May your wisdom ever rise,
May peace each night you know.
May the strategies you devise,
Permit others to hear your truth,
May your message cut through the lies,
To restore sanity and sooth.
May others spread your word,
So the pace of progress grows,
‘Til many like voices are heard,
In song, speech, poem and prose.
Until combined efforts free the many,
From invisible chains with which they’re bound,
‘Til we’ve a land of honey and plenty,
Where peace and love and harmony abound.
